Jeffrey Epstein was a American financier who got arrested for sex trafficking and child abuse in 2019. Born on January 20, 1953, Brooklyn, New York City, Epstein had a decent childhood and an easy going family. His classmates described him as an average student, bright in math and always smiling. However, something happened in the year 1974.

In 1974 Epstein started working as a teacher at Dalton School, in Manhattan. In few years of teaching, Epstein was often seen flirting with young female students. Now that’s insane. Then suddenly in 1976, he got dismissed from Dalton School for “poor performance”. Well I think this was the right time to investigate him. But this turned out to be the beginning of his rise in financial world and his friendship with the elites.

Epstein Files

In July 2006, Epstein was first arrested on the charge of soliciting prostitution in Palm Beach, Florida. This was the start of his decade long trial which ended after his suspicious death in jail, August 2019. However, things didn’t stop post his death. During Epstein’s trial many famous Hollywood celebrities and businessmen were linked to his company.

As per the reports it is suggested that Epstein kept a list of high profile clients to whom he trafficked young girls. This list was called “The Epstein List”. In 2025, former white house senior advisor, Elon Musk, made a tweet that Trump’s name is on the Epstein files and hence he doesn’t want the list to go public. Man this looks like an episode from House of Cards.

As of today Musk has deleted his tweet on Epstein list. The U.S. department of justice has released a memo that no such client list existed. President Trump says that “Epstein files” is a fabricated thing by Democrats. And lastly The Senate has passed the The Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is awaiting Trump’s signature.
